If you're somebody who wants to delight once again in 90s sitcom, The Nanny, we share how to watch the hit show starring Fran Drescher.

The American 90s sitcom The Nanny aired between 1993 - 1999. Although the show has always enjoyed enduring popularity, an even bigger resurgence took place when clips of the show have made their way onto the internet, flooding platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok.

Taking inspiration from Fran Drescher's real life growing up, her character is a fashion-loving Jewish woman from Queens, who becomes the nanny of three children from an upper-class family in New York City. Maintaining a Rotten Tomatoes score of 94% to this day, fans are just as keen to watch the show in 2025 as they were thirty years ago. We share how you can watch the show if you're in the UK and beyond.

How to watch The Nanny from the UK

The Nanny is currently not available on any streaming platforms in the UK. Although there are some full episodes that are available on Youtube, this is not a complete anthology of the six-season-long series. 

However, if you are an American viewer based in the US, there are several ways you can watch the show. If you are a Max (formerly HBO Max) subscriber you can watch it on this platform which starts at $9.99.

On Amazon Video you can also purchase Max as an add-on subscription so you can stream all seasons of The Nanny. This option starts at just $9.99 with options of a 30-day free trial.

If you are a US citizen who is currently inside the UK, you can still watch just as you would at home in the US with your Max subscription. You can do this with the use of a Virtual Private Network - a VPN.

A VPN allows you to change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to the series, even if you're not there.

Our sister site, TechRadar, has tested all of the major VPN services and they rate Nord to be the absolute best. They say, "It’s compatible with all of your devices, supports most streaming services, and ranks among the fastest. You can even install it on devices like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, and PlayStation. So for a one-stop-shop, you can’t go wrong with Express."
